Hi all,


    During a recent run of my 3" coil the line filter did some odd things.
First it made a popping sound then shot out a 3" flame until I shut it off.
The flame came out directly under one of the output posts. Any idea why
this happened?


Coil Specs:

12kv 60ma neon 120v pri
3" x 10" sec
wire primary
.008uf cap
RQ gap
max arc: 20"

The line filter was rated at 20A 240v
